I have struggled and worked very hard to create a place for myself where I can charge the same remuneration as heroes and be paid also. Even if it’s one rupee more, it makes a difference. (smiles) It’s a big thing to happen in a male-driven industry. Swastika Mukherjee: I charge the same amount or more than the hero's fee, and get paid. What is that one thing that makes you feel proud when you look back? You started your journey in 2000 and now it has been 23 years. ![]() It would have been such a better film, which didn’t happen. I really don’t want to talk about it, what has happened is gone. Swastika Mukherjee: Too many things have happened. You don’t seem happy with the final result of the film… A lot happened before and after the release of Shibpur. Somebody has to start talking and writing about it. They don’t know there are other regional industries. It just becomes Indian cinema is equal to Bollywood. I have seen it that when you say Indian cinema people think it only means Bollywood.ĭuring immigration in US or Europe, if they ask us (actors) about the purpose of our visit, we simply say ‘We have come for a shoot’. It specifically happens for Bengal, Odisha, and Assam. Manav Kaul is from Kashmir but we don’t call him Kashmiri actor. We don’t use words like Punjabi actors or Kashmiri actors. I have seen people using these things for actors from the East. Swastika Mukherjee: When we talk about inclusivity, it should not be only about gender. My daughter will be like ‘Why are you calling her that name? What is this? Why are you sharing your name?’ (laughs) I remember you tweeted about being called a Bengali actor last year. These are the nicknames I use for my daughter. When I am playing a mother, very naturally ‘mumma’ or ‘mummai’ comes out of my mouth during the shoot. But, she also tells me what she likes and dislikes. She gives her opinion when I ask her ‘Am I looking fat in the film?’ She will be like ‘You are looking just how you look.’ (laughs) She gives very mean and blunt replies. She watched it before the release only because she had a personal inclination. She, Triptii (Dimri) and all of us used to chat a lot. The only film she was eager to watch was Qala because she had travelled with me to Kashmir for the shoot. Swastika Mukherjee: First I have to bribe her with gifts and makeup to watch my work. Do you take feedback from your daughter regarding work? Besides that tweet, it’s Nikhoj making people talk about you. Kitna hi aap dikhaoge? (how much justice will you do) I will be careful about how I choose my words. I think for Bengalis it’s a sensitive space…I mean leave some people aside, because you cannot show the magnanimity of his life either way. I personally depend on Tagore for a lot of things he has shaped my childhood, adulthood and life altogether. As a Bengali, I just don't want him to be included in another propaganda bu**sh*t, that is what I wanted to say. There are so many favourite Anupam Kher films that I have watched and I still re-watched them. I followed his work since I started watching films. What I meant was nobody should include him in propaganda.īut, it just became like I was talking against Anupam Kher. I even thought of writing that I was wrong in writing nobody should play Rabindranath Tagore. I thought of going back (and clarifying) but I was busy at work. Swastika Mukherjee: See what I wanted to say is we should leave Rabindranath Tagore from propaganda, he should be left out of propaganda whether it’s films, books or seminars. You tweeted ‘No one should play Robi Thakur’ and it went viral! Was it for Anupam Kher as many quickly assumed on the internet?
